Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4%. ITP does not apply. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so confirm eligibility before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. This means you should expect to provide a deposit of 30–40% from your own funds. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual rate will depend on the lender, your financial profile, and the loan term. We can refer you to a mortgage broker with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently listed as zero. IBI (annual local property tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build; the agent can provide an estimate once rates are confirmed by the local authority. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also to be confirmed. As always, factor in utility connections (electricity, water) which will need to be set up upon completion.
Is it possible to view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Rafal at this stage. A member of our team can walk through the property or the show home with you via video call, covering all rooms, the communal pool area, and the exterior. Contact us to arrange a time that works for you, whether you are based in the UK or elsewhere.
Does this property have rental potential?
Rafal is an inland location rather than a coastal resort, so short-term holiday rental demand is more limited than in coastal areas. The property may suit long-term residential lets to local or relocated tenants. If rental income is part of your investment plan, we recommend speaking with a local letting agent to assess realistic demand and yield expectations for this specific area before committing.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first step is obtaining a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The sale completes before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
